WARSAW — Poland will impose a complete ban on growing the MON810 genetically modified strain of maize made by US company Monsanto on its
territory, Agriculture Minister Marek Sawicki said Wednesday.

“The decree is in the works. It introduces a complete ban on the MON810 strain of maize in Poland,” Sawicki told reporters, adding that pollen of
this strain could have a harmful effect on bees.

On March 9, seven European countries — Belgium, Britain, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Ireland and Slovakia — blocked a proposal by the Danish EU
presidency to allow the cultivation of genetically-modified plants on the continent.

Seven days after that, France imposed a temporary ban on the MON810 strain.

Talks on allowing the growing of genetically-modified plants on EU soil are now deadlocked as no majority has emerged among the 27 member
states.

For me it is big surprise because Poland was long time one of strongest supporter of US foreign policies (GMO advertisement is one of those). On other
hand Poland have vast agriculture and maybe more and more farmers go to roots after Bolshevik nonsense. Probably something significant happened in
this respect because there are prosecutions around secret CIA prisons. Maybe Poles political elite is fed by US imperialism in general.

You couldn't be more correct however it would seem on a scale of 1-10 this thread has scored a 2 in the how much anyone on ATS actually gives a damn,
They would rather discuss more important things like the "Look at what my wife posted on another mans Facebook page." thread rather than getting
involved in such an important topic, However I'm glad you see the need for the awareness of what Monsanto is attempting

When I did a search before I posted my other thread your thread didn't come up (??). But one of the other monsanto threads did, from February:
